Can I avoid tracking unique users or website visitors in New York? What are the requirements?
To avoid tracking unique users or website visitors in New York, you must comply with the requirements set forth by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance [2.1]. However, it is unclear from your query whether you are referring to website tracking for tax purposes or for other reasons. If you are referring to website tracking for other reasons, there are currently no specific laws or regulations in New York that prohibit website tracking. However, you must comply with applicable federal and state laws regarding data privacy and security, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) [1.2].
In addition, if you are collecting personal information from New York residents, you may be subject to the New York State Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security (SHIELD) Act, which requires businesses to implement reasonable data security measures to protect personal information [1.2]. The SHIELD Act also requires businesses to provide notice to affected individuals in the event of a data breach.
Overall, it is important to consult with a legal professional to ensure that your website tracking practices comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
